The speed of a wave in a certain medium ...

The speed of a wave in a certain medium is `960 m//s`. If 3600 waves pass over a certain point of the medium in 1 min, the wavelength is

A

2m

B

4m

C

8m

D

16m

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`v=960 m//s, n=(3600)/(60) Hz`.
so `lambda+(v)/(n)=(960)/(60)=16 m`
